The ‘Teacher There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. — PSALM 19 Through the centuries man has been ever seek- ing knowledge. Young men and women daily attend schools and universities to satisfy their hunger for wisdom. To the teacher goes the job of satisfying this search and the job of molding these young people to be better citizens and workers of the world. The teacher not only spends “This is the way we come to school.” The responsibility of teaching sits well on the shoulders of Mr. Theodore Pease of the English faculty, shown here in his mechanical pride and joy. his working hours with the students, but devotes many hours to planning the curriculum and to supervising extra-curricula activities. The job of the teacher is many times a thankless one. The value of his work cannot be reckoned in dollars and cents. However, the power that was America, that is America, and that will be America is attained by the patience, understanding and wis- dom of the American teacher.
